@im_santiago_min What are you building and hows it going?

@killianio great execution

Looking to connect with more builders and founders who are actually shipping. Drop what you’re building below. Let’s connect.

@convika_ai I like it, not making any changes at the moment as I continue on functionality and roadmap but would definitely consider it in future. How are you generating landing pages?

@killianio Done. I built a private preview and just sent you the URL by DM!

I’ll build you a landing page for free. No form. No pitch. No catch. Reply with: 1. What you’re building 2. Who it’s for 3. The main action you want people to take I’ll turn the best replies into real landing pages and post them in this thread. Repost this and I’ll prioritize yours. Drop it below 👇

@thenowhereway Its good to stick to the fundamentals!

@killianio old advice, still the best advice

What’s the best piece of advice, you’ve received when it comes to using AI to build?

Yes! We fetch pages exactly how GPTBot and ClaudeBot do. No JavaScript. No rendering. So if your site is CSR we see the same empty div that AI sees. Which is why a beautifully written site can score 18/100 and the founder has no idea why. SSR and static sites do way better because the content is actually there when we land. Honestly one of the most surprising findings from the 60 sites we audited. This is early days too. The roadmap goes much deeper. Query discovery, citation tracking, competitor monitoring. Right now we are focused on getting the readability layer right before we build on top of it. Try it on yours and see what comes back. citelens.dev/?v=2

@killianio nice, very useful does it take into account SSR? CSR?

Hey builders!! Looking to connect with: First-time founders Repeat founders Side-project builders Full-time founders All welcome. Drop what you're building 👇 #buildinpublic

@federicodonaton This is true! What are you building?

@killianio listen.. boring work is where the money sits most people skip that part 👊

Most “AI for lawyers” is just ChatGPT with a legal disclaimer. The actual opportunity is boring: •intake documents •flag missing clauses •draft the standard reply •alert the attorney Same pattern as every other vertical. Legal just pays better.

Depends on what you are doing with it. If your site never changes — set it once and forget it. But most products evolve. New pages, new features, updated positioning. Your llms.txt describes your product from whenever you last touched it. AI recommends based on what it reads. If the file is 6 months old it recommends the old version of your product. That is why CiteLens manages it automatically. We re-read your site every Monday and update the file when things change. It also sets you up for what we are building next. Query discovery, citation tracking, competitor monitoring. All of it runs off the managed infrastructure layer. The is the foundation. Everything else builds on top. Want me to generate one for supabird.io and host it for you?

@killianio does llms.txt file need to get constantly updated?

crazy how much i learned at "AI Search" event🔥 my favorite insights: 1> AI pulls references from the first 200 chars of your article, keep the intro sharp and short 2> Reddit/YouTube dominate the references, but niche blogs often beat them on position 1. So don't default to Reddit, analyze first 3> listicles are the most powerful content type in AI search, if your app is #1 in a list, AI shows it first > some AI SEO tools use LLM APIs instead of scraping the web interface directly. Issue is API returns less results than users actually see on the web

@matthewmillerai Been following since day 1 on YouTube 👌

$3,955 → $18,320 MRR in 90 days. Everyone obsesses over the overnight viral moment. This is the opposite. Boring, daily, relentless compounding. I showed up and shipped every day for 3 months. +363% later, this is what steady actually looks like.

@firstfruitsapp This!

stop trying to market your app. nobody wants your app. nobody cares about your app and nobody cares about you. you're marketing the transformation that people can get when they use your app. it's a huge difference.

@TheGeorgePu What sort of harness do you use with it for coding? Never tried it for coding

Why are we happily burning on Opus at $5/$25 per 1M. When DeepSeek is 26x cheaper and as capable? Ever since I tried DeepSeek V4 Pro out I can't look back.

@Jeyffre You can get it on your table but things are so fast that by the time you have it on your table, the opportunity cost is more than ever.

1 - So GLM 5.2 is 700b parameters (ish) 2 - 4x DGX Sparks can supposedly handle up to 700b parameters (give or take) 3 - GLM 5.2 is supposedly in striking distance of the performance of GPT 5.5 and Opus 4.8. In my brief tests, it's really not shabby at all. 4 - So for $20k, you can get near the frontier on your table. 5 - Extrapolate the trend, and you could have mythos/5.5 pro - class models in your dining room for the cost of a cheap car less than five years from now. Even without extrapolation, we're already the near frontier running locally. 6 - Paying real api costs, I could easily blow through $3,000 per month coding and running agents. The machine pays for itself in 6-7 months conservatively. 7 - In 3-5 years, most power users of AI will self-host. 8 - Am I missing something?

@BratDotAI 3 agents is approx 7X usage cost too

Are you using your Codex/Claude subscription to its full potential?

@BratDotAI Most definitely not and there are very few that are. The workflow I like uses plane as a context layer (similar to the dreaded Jira but much nicer and lean).

@nutlope This is impressive. Is GLM your daily driver? I think I could do with general purpose model like this much better. Claude is great - I’m on Max 20X but I don’t always use it. Maybe I should just right size and try GLM too

This model is insane at design. I asked GLM 5.2 (left) and Opus 4.8 (right) to build me a landing page and you can't even tell the difference. GLM cost $0.06 while opus cost $0.49. More than 6x cheaper while being faster + more token efficient. Another win for open source AI.

Why is no one talking about this? @nvidia is offering around 80 AI models via hosted APIs absolutely for free. You get access to MiniMax M2.7, GLM 5.1, Kimi 2.5, DeepSeek 3.2, GPT-OSS-120B, Sarvam-M etc. This plugs straight into OpenClaude, OpenCode, Zed IDE, Hermes agent and even with Cursor IDE. Setup: – Grab API key: build.nvidia.com/models – base_url = "integrate.api.nvidia.com/v1" – api_key = "$NVIDIA_API_KEY" – select model (e.g. minimaxai/minimax-m2.7) If you’re building or experimenting, this is basically free inference. Lock in and start building today anon. Thank me later.

@Jaredkotter Happy to help. However @Jaredkotter , curious as to how important AI optimization is for you? Is it important that you get mentioned by AI services like ChatGPT, Perplexity etc?

Any connections on here that can build simple SEO optimized website? PrObAblY not quite ready for full service SEO agency (yet). But that’s down the road. Just need the site for now.

@alfiearnaud_ Interested to hear more and a breakdown of what you did. Any specific target market? Is there a particular space in which this seems to hit better?

$5,000 on meta ads = ~1,100 installs at $4.50 CPI. $5,000 on 50 UGC creators = 2,500,000+ views and 12,000+ installs. same budget. wildly different outcome.

@RobGuerra90 @TanzilaSha9574 I like it! What sort of models do you use? Seems to me like we are likely at a good time for Gemma / GPT-OSS along with whisper locally for these things.
